SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
By James Caldwell, PWTorch assistant editor
As expected, Paul Heyman’s contract status with WWE was resolved prior to Brock Lesnar’s TV return Monday night on Raw, reports the Wrestling Observer.
Heyman’s previous contract expired in-between Lesnar’s stints on WWE TV, prompting the two sides to work out a new agreement.
Heyman has multiple irons in the fire, including a reality TV show in the works and a content deal with Yahoo. It required a new contract with WWE to continue as Lesnar’s on-air manager/spokesperson.
Heyman has an important role promoting Lesnar’s return match against Randy Orton at Summerslam on August 21, especially with Lesnar and Orton on separate brands following the brand split.
